  Lobuche – Everest Base Camp – Gorakhshep (5130 mtrs)
Today is an exciting day as we are close to our final destination. After a walk of 2 hours we reach
Gorakhshep. After this, the trek to EBC can be misleading among the high- altitude trekking which is a
strenuous climb. You must follow the lead Sherpa as the paths change every season due to the
movement of the glaciers. But once you reach to EBC after a total of 7 hours walk, a grand view of the
Khumbu ice fall awaits you. After a break of 2 Hours we head back towards Gorakhshep. Overnight at
Gorakhshep. (B, L, D)

  Namche – Phakding – Lukla
The trek from Namche Bazaar to Phakding is again a simple and easy walk. You would be trekking down
the slope most of the time. The beauty of the forest and distant mountains with several water- falls add
to your journey a great delight. There will be a few uphill climbs but you will manage it very easily. After
this easy walk you would reach Lukla. This will be your last day with the Sherpas and other crew
members, so you would like to enjoy the day with a delicious dinner. Overnight at Lukla. (B, L, D)
13
  Lukla – Kathmandu
On this day you would have to wake up early as the flights to Kathmandu are generally scheduled in the
morning. This is because during daytime, the weather is generally windy and there might be a delay in
the flight timings. However you expect a slight delay in your early morning flight as well if the weather
is not suitable. As you make your way through the security checks and your flight takes off from Lukla
airport, you would have a magnanimous view of the surrounding. Consider yourself lucky if you manage
to get a window seat as you would take about 45 minutes to reach Kathmandu. After our arrival in
Kathmandu we proceed to the hotel followed by local sight-Seeing to Pashupatinath Temple,
Budhanilkantha, Swayambhunath Temple. Afternoon visit Kathmandu Durbar Square, Kumari
